Tesoro metal detectors
It has amazed me over the years how so few people could be convinced, even seeing it with their own eyes how good Analog detectors and especially the Tesoro detectors work in heavy Iron.
I have a Mojave that cost around 200 new (Tesoro is no longer in business) and is still my go-to metal detector in farm fields where there is little to no modern trash and heavy concentrations of iron. I've tested it (along with others with me) up against the latest and greatest and its never disappointed me and surprised a number of people.
I remember looking at the Tesoro detectors when I was a kid. There was no way I could have afforded one then.
Yesterday I picked up a Tesoro Sidewinder on Craig's List.
I was not exactly in the market for another detector as I am still learning my Simplex, but the price was right, so I grabbed it.
The housing is cracked, but other than that, it is in great shape to be ~25 years old. It came with the original manual & Tesoro bag.
At least I have a spare detector now. Hopefully, I can entice my wife to go detecting with me as well.
If anyone knows where I can find a housing please let me know. My search has not been productive so far.
